    This is pretty cool. The first exclusive game to receive a 10 from IGN and GameSpot. Only one game has been able to get this score for next-gen consoles. And that was GTA IV. Now there's two.

    IGN

    GameSpot

    This doesn't normally come along everyday. I just wanted to know you're thoughts on this.

    I'm going to pick it up when I get some extra cash. All my friends have been bugging me to get it.

    Never played Metal gear sold series, whats all the hype about it?

    and they need to hold there standards on games higher, cause GTA IV shouldn't be a 10.

    Agreed. It was over hyped to say the least.

    It's fun for 4 or 5 days, until you beat it. Than there's nothing to do but play online and GTA isn't too good online IMO.

    My total time playing online has probably been an hour. IGN made it sound so good, when in fact, it's pretty flawed.

    Heh, I love GTAIV, but haven't played it recently. Though, I'm at 25+ hours in it and at an insanely hard mission. Personally, I think it deserves the 10 based on the story mode alone, but that's just me.

    I've played the 1st one all the way through. I've played limited minutes of 2 and 3, and I've gotten through half of the portable version before losing it. Although, I did find it the other day.

    What I can say is that...the game play is great. Top-notch. The story line is epic. Best story lines of any game I've ever played. It's like big, epic movie...with plot twists and everything.

    There isn't much you can hate on these games for, either. I mean, it's so much fun playing it, you're likely to go through it more than twice. What long games can you say that about?

    That's why IGN gave it an 11/10! Even better GTAIV. [​IMG]

    Yeh I'd agree that GTA wasn't a 10. Not as Overhyped as Halo 3 though. And i like Online but only Free roam with my friends. That is a good laugh,

    As for MGS4, It's the only reason i would Ever get a PS3 for myself but for the Timebeing i am more than happy with my 360.

    GTA is really fun but the replay value is lower than I expected it to be. I'm not into online multiplayer so maybe that is why I'm not picking that game up much anymore.

    I've never played a Metal Gear game (or a Final Fantasy game for that matter). For whatever reason I have a real aversion to Japanese storytelling in video games. I dunno, I'm just on a different wavelength than them I guess.

    Damn, this game is awesome. Playing in on 360, and I'm surprised how much I like it. It's difficult, but fair. In terms of action, I've never played anything like it. I also didn't realize how long it'd be. I've put in about 12 or 13 hours so far, and I think i'm 80% done.

    I already have NG2, so I'm looking forward to playing that once I finish Black.

    Anyone else play either?
